Happy to see Howell named the starter! Really excited to see what he can bring to the table. His numbers regressed some his final year of college leading to him being a later rd pick other than the projected 1st. His last year at UNC saw him lose Brown and a lot of his oline. Kid has talent. He ran for 828 yds his last year at UNC. Clearly he has wheels too. He will do great if the oline does their job.

The Commanders are releasing K Michael Badgley, source confirms.

Joey Slye last kicker standing.

Joey Slye and Troy Apke are cockroaches. You just can't get rid of them.

I can't believe Apke is still around. That is shocking.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread
 

Difficult to believe that Apke will make the roster, I think everyone would be stunned if he did. Badgley was never genuine competition for Slye, never had the leg for kickoffs. Slye is infutriating because it seems he has trouble focusing on getting in the "zone" for consistent results, they should have brought in a more genuine challenger who could at least be on the practice squad to keep Slye focused during the season.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread
 

Id rather have a guy who hits every extra point and more of his fg’s than someone who boots it out of the endzone on kickoffs. Let them catch the ball and try and run it back and get smashed at the 15 or 20 yard line. Slye still being the kicker is an absolute failure by Ron and Co. Again.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread
 

Sorry but Slye wasn't going to get beat out by Badgley. Field position all day over a couple of missed PATs.

Anyone know if Way is hurt? I just noticed that we signed [URL="https://sports.yahoo.com/commanders-sign-p-michael-palardy-151346727.html#:~:text=Punter%20Michael%20Palardy%20and%20defensive,Patriots%20during%20the%202022%20season."]a punter - Michael Palardy[/URL]... I don't see any news about Way being injured so this signing is a little bit odd.

Gotcha, I'm glad it's nothing serious.

Well more than a couple, and Badgley was more consistent with fg’s. I hear you with field position but how many guys run it out of the endzone and even make it to the 25? Either way I just cannot believe there is not a kicker in the entire world who isn’t better than Joey effin Slye.

Free Agency was basically a nothing burger because of Snyder this year. If what I am seeing online is true we have the fourth most projected cap space for 2024? Between that, one more draft, new owner, energized fan base, and seemingly having a quarterback for the future I am as excited about this team moving forward as I’ve been in a looooong time.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread
 

Supposed to be a good draft for OT next year

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread
 

The Saints have 2 good kickers, one will be cut or traded (most likely) a 6th rounder would do it.
